If you have Python and know the language, here's an alternative:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
for line in open("file2"):
    line = line.strip() #get rid of newlines
    name,entry = line.split(' ',1)
    for lin in open("file1"):
        lin = lin.strip()
        if lin.startswith(name):
                for e in entry.split():
                    lin = lin.replace(e , "")
                print "Output: ", lin

output:
Code:
/test # ./test.py
Output:  allan  entry2
Output:  bob  entry2 entry3

sgmlcheck

SGMLCHECK(1)						      General Commands Manual						      SGMLCHECK(1)

NAME

       sgmlcheck - check the syntax of an LinuxDoc DTD sgml source file

SYNOPSIS

       sgmlcheck file[.sgml]

DESCRIPTION

       sgmlcheck is an old and obsoleted form of the SGML source checker command of LinuxDoc-Tools.  It is recommended to switch the new form lin-
       uxdoc -B check now.  It runs an SGML parse on the specified document source.  Any errors are reported to  standard  output.   No  formatted
       version of the source is produced.

       Note  that  sgmlcheck  preprocesses  the  LinuxDoc  DTD	SGML  source,  doing  the  conditionalization  described  by  any  <#if></#if> and
       <#unless></#unless> tags.  Document sources containing these tags will confuse a standalone SGML parser.

OPTIONS

       None.  The generic options described in linuxdoc(1) are accepted, but have no effect (except for -D).

FILES

       Many files and executables in /usr/share/linuxdoc-tools and /usr/bin are used.

BUGS

       None known.

AUTHOR

       Originally written by  Cees  de	Groot  <cg@cdegroot.com>  as  sgmlcheck  for  SGML-Tools  v1.	Currently  maintained  by  Taketoshi  Sano
       <sano@debian.org> for Linuxdoc-Tools.
